The Bat

The Bat at Canada's Wonderland is a typical boomerang steel coaster with two lift hills, a vertical loop and double inversion boomerang element. Riders are towed backwards out of the station up the first lift hill. The train is dropped from 125-feet and speeds through the three inversions forwards before reaching the opposite lift hill. The train is then towed up the opposite lift hill and repeats the course this time backwards for a total of six inversions.
